I Pionieri 1895-1915: L’Industria Dell’Auto A Milano

Product description

Dedicated to the origins of the automobile in Milan, this book reconstructs the period between 1895 and 1915, when the city was one of the most active centers in the experimentation and production of the first motor vehicles.

Through period images, documents, cards and original materials, the first industrial and artisan realities of the sector are presented, from the most famous names such as Isotta Fraschini, A.L.F.A., Prinetti and Stucchi, Bugatti, up to lesser-remembered manufacturers such as Belloni, Castagna, Sala, Pavesi and Crespi.

The volume highlights the technical and cultural context in which a new idea of mobility was born, testifying to the variety and vitality of a sector still in formation.

A useful contribution for those looking for a documented view of the first steps of the automobile in Italy, with particular attention to the Milanese scene.
